Summary: This book addresses the current intense interest among scholars in the ways that knowledge can shape the development of international institutions by examining a particularly distinctive form of knowledge - technology. In doing so the book makes a unique contribution to the "constructivist" approaches that have become popular in the study of international relations. The author's innovative approach treats the international relational economy not as a novel and constantly expanding highly competitive market composed of individual firms, but rather as a highly institutionalized set of industries, often dominated by leading firms, in which remarkable centuries-long patterns of continuity and repetition can be identified.
